Two killed in Inverness car crash

Two Cape Breton men have died after a single-vehicle crash near Inverness yesterday.

Police say they were called to the scene on Highway 19 in Strathlorne at around a quarter to six in the morning.

When they arrived, they say they found a Honda Civic in the ditch, with what they describe as “extensive damage.”

Police say one of the men was ejected from the car, and the other was partially ejected.

Both men, a 24-year-old and a 30-year-old, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Highway 19 was closed in both directions for much of the day, reopening at around 2:30 in the afternoon.

Police say the investigation is ongoing.
